Answer: m∠
E=74\°

Explanation:

1. By definition, the adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary, they add up 180 degrees. Therefore, in the given parallelogram:


O+M=180


3x+1+2x+4=180

2. Then, you must solve for x, as following:


5x+5=180


5x=175\\x=35

3. Substitute the value of x obtained into
2x+4 to calculate the angle M:


2x+4=2(35)+4=74

Then:

m∠
M=74\°

4. By definition the opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal, therefore:


E=M\\E=74\°
